Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal

This was a highly successful cover version by the Los Angeles rockers in 2001.

Michael approved of this: "I fell in love with it," he said. "I heard it and gave it a triple A." The promo video paradied several of Michael's short films. The single hit no.1 in Australia (for nine weeks), and charted at no.3 in the UK and no.23 in the US.

Dyrden Mitchell, Alien Ant Farm's front-man, explained how the cover came about : "We were playing a hometown show and Tye (bassist) and Mike (drummer) started playing it for three seconds, and a bunch of people in the crowd knew what it was. The next day, Mike went out and got the Bad tape, so I could figure out the lyrics and they could figure out the music. When we played it, we were'nt so proud of ourselves or anything, we were just like - this song is good, we like it!"

Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal - Lyrics

As he came into the windowWas a sound of a crescendoHe came into her apartmentHe left the bloodstains on the carpetShe was sitting at the tableHe could see she was unableSo she ran into the bedroomShe was struck downIt was her doom

Annie, are you okAre you okAre you ok, annieAnnie, are you okYou okAre you ok, annieAnnie, are you okYou okYou ok, annieAnnie, are you okYou okAre you ok, annie

Annie, are you okWill you tell us that youre okTheres a sign at the windowThat he struck youA crescendo, annieHe came into your apartmentHe left the bloodstains on the carpetThen you ran into the bedroomYou were struck downIt was your doom

Annie, are you okYou okAre you ok, annieAnnie, are you okYou okAre you ok, annieAnnie, are you okYou okAre you ok, annieYouve been hit byYouve been struck byA smooth criminal

So he came into the outwayIt was sundayWhat a black dayI could feel your salutationSounding heartbeatsIntimidations

Annie, are you okYou okAre you ok, annieAnnie, are you okYou okAre you ok, annieAnnie, are you okYou okAre you ok, annieAnnie, are you okYou okAre you ok, annie

Annie, are you okWill you tell us that youre okTheres a sign at the windowThat he struck youA crescendo, annieHe came into your apartmentHe left the bloodstains on the carpetThen you ran into the bedroomYou were struck downIt was your doom

Annie, are you okYou okAre you ok, annieYouve been hit byYouve been struck byA smooth criminal

Annie, are you okWill you tell us that youre okTheres a sign at the windowThat he struck youA crescendo, annieHe came into your apartmentHe left the bloodstains on the carpetThen you ran into the bedroomYou were struck downIt was your doom

Annie, are you okYou okAre you ok, annieAnnie, are you okYou okAre you ok, annieAnnie, are you okYou okAre you ok, annieAnnie, are you okYou okAre you ok, annie

I thought Alien Ant Farm did a great cover of Smooth Criminal. Michael's music influences so many genres and styles of music. He's breaks barriers like no one else and I'm actually honered that AAF payed homage to the "GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME"

@HarrisTsiantosFirst of all you don't have to be rude. Read other comments if you haven't done so yet (google translator may be useful). You'll see that there're other listeners who appreciate this cover. We're trying to satisfy everyone's taste, not just yours, if you see what I mean Secondly, you can't know my opinion on this track as I haven't expressed any whatsoever And please watch your language, we are lovers here, not fighters

I really love the Smooth Criminal which Michael sang, it wonderful. After hearing this song i wondered how Michael approved of it because frankly i didn't like this version, it seems the song's beauty has been destroyed. Well anyways. Love You Always Michael
